Osbourne Bay Campground — Steamboat Rock State Park

Primitive portion of Steamboat Rock state park on Columbia River

This is the primitive portion of Steamboat Rock State Park along the Columbia River. There is a boat launch and vault toilet but no water or garbage. There are large cottonwood trees to shade the sites. When we were there in October, their golden foliage shone in the sunlight.

The sites are small and close together. Campsites are in either side of a gravel road leading to the boat launch. There are 12 sites plus an ADA site. There is a small day use only area. There were only 3 other campers when we stayed so it was quiet.

There is a golf course next to the campground. My Verizon signal was strong. The campground us situated far enough from the highway that road noise was negligible.

ETA: there is a dispersed site across the highway on public lands. Photos show the evening glow of the rocks.
